Nitin: Haha 
Jago 
thanks... flogging a dead horse, blood out of a stone of course, but very funny nonetheless...

the first PC Gamer magazine i bought had DNF as a cover story (And 'Flight Unlimited'), and that was sometime in 1997. At that time, I was in the 2nd year of Secondary School, now i'm in the first year of University, having taken a Gap Year.

Is there an official release date? When it's done? 
Starbuck 
You're either really, really fucking slow, or secondary school last a really long time. No offense (I lie).

Oh, and I remember Flight Unlimited. Damn, I loved the demo. 
New Quake Mod 
New Quake DM mod "CyberQuake v4". It's only 100k, so you might as well download it: Fight like normal, but when you die, spend your frags to enhance your gun, and buy crazy shit like tesla coils and teleporters.

LTH 
NO.

NO. I wouldn't download such a mod if I was paid. Well, okay, I would but only for the money... 
Dnf 
long development time, gabe is fat, haggle gaggle bluhr...

but you're still got damn talking about it! 
Well Vigil

A Day Of Shit-looking FPSes... 
This amuses me vaguely. Not satisfied with the Mortyr2 screenshots posted recently (who the hell is going to play that?? Even *I* didn't play Mortyr1), lots more companies have been releasing Screenshots Of Ass Ugly And Pointless Sounding Generic FPS Games That Are Even Less Exciting Than Following Through Whilst Farting(tm).

Par example:

Hellforces:

http://www.gengamers.com/html/hellforces.html

- fight the forces of Hell with "old verified gameplay" OMG I can't wait, gaming revolution of the decade. Just STFU and give me the Painkiller expansion, k??


Liquidator:

http://www.liquidator2.com/home/

- Fight the forces of some random aliens with "massive shooting sequences and action elements" oh wow, still my beating heart. The game also features Virtual Teleportation devices, truly the cutting edge of 1994 gameplay ideas.


Vivisector:

http://www.gengamers.com/html/vivisector_beast_inside.html

Fight the forces of mutated animals with "intense, high-adrenaline action", yeah right, there was a demo of this sometime in the last millenium, and guess what it still doesn't look any better or more interesting since then. Hurray for progress!


Thanks to Blues for these gems 
Shambler

WTF

Lol - I think something got a bit lost in translation here :P

So true. I mean how fucking creatively challenged do you have to be before you say "I know! Lets make a PainKiller rip-off! That game was rich with unique and innovative ideas for us to plunder!" 
Vivisector 
Excites me more then Quake 4 did. Not EVERY game can be HL2, y'know, the majority of titles are gonna be from startup companies in Holland and whatnot that take 6 months to make their game. 
Zwiffle 
An FPS game made in 6 months is bound to be utter shit. It takes more than 6 months to do a big, high-quality SP experience for Quake 1 with good content (see Nehahra or any other well-sized quality SP thing). The newer the tech, the more content needs to be done, the longer the development time. It's inevitable. 
Vivisector 
i got to play vivisector in feb2004 at kri, it plays and looks like your general fps. nothing really impressive there... only impressive thing was possibility to shoot off any limb of the monsters. you could shoot off hand, leg, ANY part of the body, so u could see the ribs under the torn off skin etc....

and wtf with holland here? it's ukrainian game... 
I'm Not Saying 
that it won't suck; It's just that not every game can be that billion-dollar budget blockbuster badass ... ummmm.... b-word game.

So true. I mean how fucking creatively challenged do you have to be before you say "I know! Lets make a PainKiller rip-off! That game was rich with unique and innovative ideas for us to plunder!"

Sometimes you can't just make an engine with light-bending gravity-warping 1-billion polys-per-monster type characteristics and you just have to do what you can with what you got.

So I'm not saying any of these games will be the next Doom3 at all, but sometimes one has to realize these are the Mom and Pop businesses of games development. (Mom and Pop stores are little tiny family run stores that generally don't do very well.) 
Why 
...haven't we tried putting our money were our mouths are and attempted a mod or something? the qmap project. there are engines around, and good ones at that, cube for example. I mean really tried doing it professionally like and shit. with the cream of the crap, as it were.

ah, a girl can dream... I also want a moon pony for christmas. 
Wrath 
The QMap/TF folks have pulled off a whole shitload of gmae projects. Some of them pretty damn big too. 
Moon Ponies? 
I've been, there aren't any.

There are moon pies, though. 
What? You Think Humans Actually Have Freedom? 
So true. I mean how fucking creatively challenged do you have to be before you say "I know! Lets make a PainKiller rip-off! That game was rich with unique and innovative ideas for us to plunder!"

I think one major lapse in people's reasoning is that the game developers frequently don't get to pick what games they work on. Would you rather work on Lame Project 23 that the publisher wants to have made, or would you rather spend all your time developing a cool game without any funding and then spend 2 years shopping it around to publishers and eventually have to can the whole thing because the technology became outdated? Your call, really. But one option at least lets you have something to eat for dinner besides street rats at the Gotta-Catch-Em-All restaurant in the back alley. 
Wait... 
wrath is a girl?


hello wrath, you are a qt.
